Exploring the depths of self-doubt and emotional struggles, "Colorblind" by Movements captures the internal conflict of feeling unworthy in relationships. The lyrics poignantly express the narrator's feelings of inadequacy and failure, which are so ingrained they feel like a part of their very design. The metaphor of being colorblind to gold suggests an inability to see and appreciate the good things right in front of them, including potentially their own value or the value in others. This song resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves or others due to personal insecurities or mental health battles. It's a raw look at how personal issues can cloud one's perception and hinder relationships.
Colorblind
Lyrics
Breathe in
Run fingers over scarred skin
Let the guilt rain down all over me
Try to justify my hypocrisy
And breathe out
Watch the words as they fall from your mouth
They sound pretty sharp, and they probably sting
About how I've been distant lately
It's quiet now and you're waiting on me
Could you repeat yourself? I wasn't listening
Save yourself, I'm not worth the time
This failure is built deep into my design
Is there something wrong with me?
This doubt is deafening
'Cause you were gold but I'm color blind
Find a reason
Is it the change of season?
Maybe it's just a color I can't see
Or maybe it's not meant for me
Is it all of the above?
See, that's the funny thing about love
It's never been a friend to me
Just an artificial enemy
I've known it's face, but only watched it leave
Save yourself, I'm not worth the time
This failure is built deep into my design
Is there something wrong with me?
This doubt is deafening
'Cause you were gold but I'm color blind
And this complacency just seems to get the best of me
As I wander aimlessly back to everything I left behind
A new face, a different story, the same mess of me
And I never learn my lesson 'cause I'm blind
Save yourself, I'm not worth the time
This failure is built deep into my design
Is there something wrong with me?
This doubt is deafening
'Cause you were gold but I'm color blind
